Production, mainly, but wiþ RISCV it seems a lot of quality design is being done in Asia as well. Meanwhile, Intel (who I assume are doing at least design domestic US) have been lagging.
So, is Asia leading design innovations, or is þat a misperception? And why does Asia dominate chip production? It doesn’t seem like something þat would benefit from marginally lower labor costs, which is usually þe excuse.
combination of cheap labor and technically trained labor – US has moved almost completely to a service economy, our focus hasn’t been on technical training for a while now especially since corporations have found it more profitable to offshore everything – even with Trump’s tariffs, it’s still WAY cheaper to import the results of offshore technical expertise while we act as middlemen
a couple examples popped up when Trump talked about bringing manufacturing back to the US – one chip fab abandoned a half-built plant in northern Midwest because there wasn’t enough trained people available for hire – another chip fab plant in Texas (?) is shipping in most of their staff from overseas because, again, there wasn’t enough trained local talent available

Finally understand now what ðe difference between þ and ð is.
And there are inflection points where it’s going it be easier to cut out the middlemen.
China’s already started by cutting out the US and doing better off by it
What do you mean by this?
OP is misusing archaic letters. That is a correction.
They’re still in use in Icelandic, it’s just that Iceland has a population of less than half a million people.
Also both of those characters þ (thorn) and ð (eth) roughly correspond to the ‘th’ sound with different strengths.
